In a case that's ruffling feathers in Egypt, authorities have detained a swan that a citizen suspected of being a spy.

Officials say a man brought the suspected winged infiltrator to a police station Friday in the Qena governorate, some 450 kilometers (280 miles) southeast of Cairo. Officials say the man suspected the bird was an undercover agent because it carried an electronic device.

The head of security in Qena said Saturday that officials examined the bird and the device. Mohammed Kamal said the device was neither an explosive nor a spying device. It likely could be a wildlife tracker.

With turmoil gripping Egypt, authorities and citizens remain suspicious of anything foreign. Earlier this year, a security guard filed a police report after capturing a pigeon he said carried microfilm.

The sheer stupidity of the "authorities" in muzzie countries is mindblowing. Iran detains squirrels they think spy for Israel, and not to be outdone, the Egyptians detain a bird._________________People Of Love

I remember reading about the Saudis interrogating an eagle suspected of being israeli spy.
Seems like the Israelis have a whole variety of fauna working for them.
I'm curious what kind of experience is training all those bastards. Too bad I've spent the whole service in a dusty tank._________________"People are the worst, the worst thing about music is that people play it". M. Patton.
